KY-009 3-color LED SMD module Raspberry Pi example

In this example we take a look at the KY-009 3-color full-color LED SMD module and connect this to a Raspberry Pi.

RGB LEDs consist of one red, one green, and one blue LED. By independently adjusting each of the three, RGB LEDs are capable of producing a wide color gamut. Unlike dedicated-color LEDs, however, these obviously do not produce pure wavelengths. Moreover, such modules as commercially available are often not optimized for smooth color mixing.
